		<description><![CDATA[On July 24, 1943, &#8220;Georgia Rebel&#8221; was the first American bomber to crash land in Sweden. Prior to that, most of the aircrews to divert to Sweden were from Germany or Britain. Sweden had declared its neutrality and through neutrality regulations was responsible for the &#8220;internment&#8221; of the aircraft and the aircrews.
